Okay, so what are some good PS3 exclusives?

[Kane Knight]

I've got the cash to throw around, and a blu ray player would be nice (I have a HD DVD player, but there are exclusives on both sides). However, I own a 360, and most multiplatform games generally have the better versions on 360. You can argue that point if you want, but really, what's going to sell me on a PS3 is stuff I DON'T already have access to.

Problem is, I haven't been paying attention to the exclusives. Any that are worth the while? Keep in mind, I'm not going to be guying any FPS games. I just don't like them. Sorry, shooter fans, I'm not trying to insult you....

I hear a lot of the exclusives are pretty weak, and I know Sony's losing exclusives, but I keep hearing they've got some nice ones, too. Folklore looks interesting, but what else is there?

[OssMan]

Final Fantasy XIII/Final Fantasy vs. XIII

[Fignuts]

If you're talking about games that are already out, the only ones that come to mind are motorstaorm, Ratchet and Clank, and Heavenly Sword. Although R & C is the only one among those which can hang with 360's top titles.

I will also be getting one soon, as I want a blu ray player, and there are enough games out now, and upcoming where I can now warrant purchasing one. Although I do like FPS games.

[Kane Knight]

I hear Heavenly Sword's exceptionally short, otherwise I'd probably be all over that. R&C I hear nothing but good stuff aboot though.

[DS]

Ninja Gaiden Sigma and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune are both suppose to be pretty good. You can also get PAIN from the PSN which is really fun but not much content with it right now.

LittleBigPlanet is one to watch as well. It got pushed back but should still turn out pretty well...at least I hope. And Metal Gear Solid 4 will turn out worthy of the console itself. You might also Warhawk if you're going to play online. I'm not a fan of it but it seems to be liked amongst some. Another TPS but it mixes in air combat as well and that is by far the best part of the game.

Other than that there's not many exclusives that have done that well. Actually, there aren't many exclusives at all.

[Fignuts]

Ninja Gaiden isn't technicaly an exclusive.

[RoXer]

MGS4

[Kane Knight]

Oh yeah, Uncharted was the one I was trying to remember. That shit looks HOT.

NG is a port of a game I already own. It has some new stuff, but it's not really an exclusive title. I think I've got enough stuff to make it worth my while.

[ClockShot]

Well. I was gonna mention Haze. But since you mentioned you ain't a big FPS fan, that goes out the window.

You might like Uncharted. I didn't care much about it when I downloaded the demo from the store.

On the multiplayer end, there's Warhawk. Pretty cool, but gets boring really fast. That might have gone away since the new expansion just got released.

[D Mac]

Don't waste your money.

[Kane Knight]

I'm digging uncharted so far. I'm thinking about grabbing Warhawk. The MP only element is kind of a turnoff, but at least online's free for PSN.

[Kane Knight]

Also, I DL'ed the demo for Heavenly sword, and it looks like a less interesting N3. I like beat 'em ups, but this one just seems pointless.

[Fignuts]

How much of a difference is there with the blu-ray? Does it seem worth it?

[Kane Knight]

I'll tell you the second I get a HDMI cable.

Leave it to Sony to package in an 800 dollar player and give you the cheapest connector known to man (Straight up RCA jack).

[D Mac]

DVD is good enough

[LoDownM]

DVD is good enough

Wrong!

You're like the people who where still hanging on to VHS when DVD first came on the scene. "Old tech is good enough for me!!!!"

[LoDownM]

I'll tell you the second I get a HDMI cable.

It's pretty amazing. Can't stand watching normal DVD's now. The HDMI hook up was worth the extra how ever much more it was.

[Destor]

Wrong!

You're like the people who where still hanging on to VHS when DVD first came on the scene. "Old tech is good enough for me!!!!"
I sitlll own a rather large VHS library fag.

[D Mac]

I dont even use DVD I have a portable media player and use avi downloads.

[Kane Knight]

It's pretty amazing. Can't stand watching normal DVD's now. The HDMI hook up was worth the extra how ever much more it was.

Yeah, High Def looks freaking sweet generally. Even over copnent video.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I hear Heavenly Sword's exceptionally short, otherwise I'd probably be all over that. R&C I hear nothing but good stuff aboot though.

It's terrible, not just short.

Motorstorm and Ratchet & Clank at the moment for me... Thats it.

I played some of Uncharted and just couldn't get into it. I ended up throwing on Tomb Raider Legend and having a much better time :D

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I loved Uncharted

I'm playing Ratchet and Clank right now and enjoying it.
I didn't dislike Heavenly sword, but it's really short, and I got the most fun out of shooting people with Kai.

If you like the series, downloading Tekken 5 DR wouldn't be a bad idea.
High Velocity Bowling is a fun party game... It uses the motion sensor, so it's a lot like wii bowling, but feels like it has more depth. For 10 bucks, it's a good buy.

Everyday shooter is a fun downloadable game too. Pretty cheap, nothing amazingly advanced, but fun.

There's some good looking games coming out this year though. The FF13 games have already been mentioned... Little Big Planet looks amazing IMO. Echochrome should be a fun puzzle game. MGS4 obviously. Infamous sounds like it could be really good too. The new Grand Turismo game if you're into that ( personally, I'm not.) The Agency could be interesting... It's a PS3 mmorpg done by the group that makes City of Heroes. Then again, it apparently mixes in FPS aspects, so might now be for you.

Anyway, you should get gamefly. I love it. It makes dealing with short games a lot more tolerable.

[Kane Knight]

It's terrible, not just short.

Yeah, I played the demo and wanted to shoot them. Of course, it's a LITTLE better now that I know how to counter effectively, but it's boring.

[Kane Knight]

Hey Fignuts, HDMI-output makes the Blu-Ray look incredible. It's basically the exact same quality as my Toshiba HD-DVD player on my TV. It'd probably look even better if my TV wasn't cheap (Emerson model that I bought 6 months ago because the price was right), but I'm definitely happy. Especially since Warner is now backing Blu-Ray exclusively.

Hate being wrong, but they're like 20% of the video market, meaning any chance HD DVD had probably just went out the window.

[LoDownM]

Yeah, HD DVD is pretty much screwed. All they have left is what, Dreamworks for exclusives now?

[DS]

I believe Paramount, which owns Dreamworks, Weinstein, and Universial are still HD-DVD?

Doesn't look good for HD-DVD at this point.

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, Warner was the swing. With some HD DVD exclusives, they were helping Toshiba. But I think those are the only exclusive companies left.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Wrong!

You're like the people who where still hanging on to VHS when DVD first came on the scene. "Old tech is good enough for me!!!!"

I can understand why technological advancements may be appreciated, but saying someone is wrong because they're happy with what they have? It's a bit of a sheepish thing to do. They say jump, you say how high. We'll survive without HD or Blu-Ray.

A lot of the reason a lot of people were clinging to VHS in the early days was becaue they absolutely did not want to pay so much for something they did not need. Yes, DVD has almost completely replaced VHS, and the same will happen again, but people aren't wrong for not jumping straight through the hoops.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'd go with Ratchet & Clank, KK. Loved those games on PS2, and while my only exposure to Tools of Destruction has been my friend's copy, everything seems to have evolved in appropriate ratio. Worth picking up, I'd say. :y:

I think you're lost. This isn't the wrestling forum.

And it's pretty obvious I was joking.

[DS]

I don't know about it being "pretty obvious" but if you say so.

[DAMN iNATOR]

who knew such a thing as a PS3 exclusive even existed?:?:

[Kane Knight]

who knew such a thing as a PS3 exclusive even existed?:?:

People not as phenomenally stupid as DAMN INATOR.

Just a hunch.

[DAMN iNATOR]

OBV, that post was in sarcasm...*SIGH*

[Kane Knight]

Actually, the sarcasm doesn't make it less stupid.

Just an FYI.

[DS]

This thread is so misleading!

[Y2Ant]

Isn't MGS4 coming out on the 360?

Aside from Tekken, that would be the only game franchise i'd buy a PS3 for.

[ClockShot]

Kojima and the boys over at Konami keep killing all rumors of MGS 4 going to the 360 left and right as of late.

[Fignuts]

Yep. Doesn't look good for a 360 version.

I'm fine with that, as along with mgs4, R&K, Final Fantasy, The Agency, KK's endorsement of blu-ray, and the fact that firepro and king of colesseum has little chance of showing up on 360, makes me feel like buying a ps3 is a good investment for me at this point.

[Kane Knight]

Kojima and the boys over at Konami keep killing all rumors of MGS 4 going to the 360 left and right as of late.

Which is probably bullshit, but it will remain exclusive for the time being at least.

[tuney41]

Killzone 2, MGS4, LittleBigPlanet, SOCOM: Confrontation, Tekken 6,
MotorStorm 2, Gran Turismo 5: Prologue, White Knight Chronicles, Haze, and Resistance 2

[Kane Knight]

Half those aren't even out, are they?

[.44 Magdalene]

That's how PS3 exclusive lists work, KK. :O If there's not enough out to warrant a solid list, then just list some games that aren't out yet / aren't actually exclusive / that I just made up.

As of the moment, PS3 has Ratchet & Clank, and Uncharted. I think that might be it. Everything else that's going to get listed is either a racing game, isn't out yet, or is an overhyped piece of shit (I'm looking at you, Heavenly Sword). I could be wrong, seeing as I'm not exactly a good representative for Sony right now, but if there was a good, long list of PS3 exclusives then I'd have already bought one.

[.44 Magdalene]

Should I re-post the Dale Gribble thing?

[Dave Youell]

Ok, here’s my wish list of games, it’s a potential way to sway me as I never really played an Xbox, so I’m not into my franchises.

I’m at work so can’t check out any games sites, so if someone can give me a low down on if the following will be exclusive that would be super:

Most of these are for the next sequel:

Onimusha
Resident Evil
MGS
Devil May Cry
Tekken
GTA
Grand Tourismo

I know a few of those will def be PS3 only, but if over half of them are, I might need to break and buy a sony

[Kane Knight]

I'm probably getting DMC 4 for the 360. Mostly because Sixxxaxis is teh ghey.

[darkpower]

I'd buy HS just so I can whack it to that chick all day (yeah, I would. SO FUCKING WHAT?)!

I am a HUGE FF mark, so I'd go for it just for FF13 (to further THAT point, it was FF7 that swung me from wanting an N64 to a PSOne when i first played that game. AWESOME move!).

I'm thinking of getting a PS3, too, so I'm with you on this.

[.44 Magdalene]

FFVII and FFXIII are very different beasts, and given the track record of recent Final Fantasies (shit, shit, shit expansion packs, shit sequels), I don't think it's quite too bright to buy a PS3 strictly for the blind hope that FFXIII won't be thirty gallons of mediocre.


Heavenly Sword is terrible. The end.

A lot of people have liked FFX onward. Whatever floats their boats, I guess. They've been horrible.

Heavenly Sword was terrible, I definitely agree.

[Destor]

good PS3 exclusives are a myth.

Heavenly Sword is terrible. The end.

The only problem with FFXII I saw what that the dialog was a little convoluted, as in only the characters and SE were supposed to know what the fuck was going on at some points (and that may be just me not paying very close attention). It got a lot of things right (the no random encounters thing was a HIGHLY welcome change). There were certain things that made each FF game less than perfect (the Junction system in 8 was finicky and you have to keep track of EVERYTHING, FF9 had that dumb system that forced you to use a certain character for a certain job, FF10 was a little too linear, FF11 was threatened by massive gilsellers who wanted to fuck up the economy, though SE is trying to change that and is stepping up their game there, and you know my only beef with 12). 12 was a firm step in the right direction, though, and 13 could be a reason to get a PS3.

Only bad complaint about HS (as far as majority votes) I'm hearing is its length.

GT5 would be another one I would think could sell the PS3. They have gotten alot of things right in the series lately (sans that decision to not make GT4 online capable).

[Y2Ant]

Dammit. If Metal Gear Solid 4 is gonna be PS3 exclusive then I just know i'm gonna cave in and buy one.

[Destor]

6 monthes after it's release it'll be on the 360 just like MSG3 was on the X-Box

[Kane Knight]

Also, Uncharted=teh secks.

Seriously, this game's awesome.

MGS will be ported, though. Question is whether you want to wait for a chopped up port or not

[Y2Ant]

If it saves me a shitload of cash, then yes, yes I do.

[Kane Knight]

More power to you.

To be honest, most of the time I'll take a hit to quality anyway. I'm thinking about getting Burnout Paradise, but I'll grab it for 360. I know it's one of the first games where the PS3 version's superior, but I hate the usual Burnout Soundtracks, and Custom Soundtracks is a real plus for me.

Sounds like the usual. Four or so tracks I give a shit about, and then a dozen or more I can't fucking stand.

[Better Than You]

Also, Uncharted=teh secks.

Seriously, this game's awesome.

MGS will be ported, though. Question is whether you want to wait for a chopped up port or not
MGS3 wasn't, I don't know why this one would be...

[Kane Knight]

PS2: Inferior to the XBox.

PS3: Superior to the 360.

It's not exactly hard to see why it would be a different playing field this time around.

[Destor]

Thats assuming that they Actually push mgs to the brinks ofthe system, and this early in the console life I find that to be an-unlikely prospect.

[Kane Knight]

Thats assuming that they Actually push mgs to the brinks ofthe system, and this early in the console life I find that to be an-unlikely prospect.

It's not assuming it's pushed to the limits of the system, because the PS3 is vastly more powerful than the 360. It also has the convenience of not assuming that they'll dedicate a significant team to porting it.

But that aside...HOLY SHIT! DESTOR'S BACK!

[Y2Ant]

I still haven't beaten MGS3 :$

I should just buy MGS2 again on Xbox classics, loved the shit out of that game.

[Kane Knight]

I haven't even played MGS 3.

[Destor]

One of the greatest games of all time.

[Y2Ant]

I dunno, the animation felt mad choppy compared to MGS2, and no radar was a little hard to adjust to and I would get spotted all the time and I crawled up to a big croc and stabbed it in the face 3409430 times and it didn't die and tail whipped me and I backflipped into a muddle of mud and drowned to death.

Maybe I should play it again.

[Destor]

i never pay attention to graphics, they honestly mean nothing to me.

[Y2Ant]

Yeah but when it feels like you're playing MGS2 but with mega FPS lag it can get pretty annoying.

[.44 Magdalene]

Metal Gear Solid 3 was the only one I could actually get into long enough to beat it. Not only did I beat it, I thought I was going to cry at the end. Totally fucked up and awesome game.

[Dave Youell]

You are all fools, MGS1 was the best

MGS2 story was just waaaay too complicated, I didn’t know what the fuck was going on, was it all a training mission or what? Plus Raiden may possibly be the gayest character ever

MGS3 was back on track, but there was too much jungle for my liking and I hated the fact it was meant to be in the 60’s yet there were hover camera’s

MGS1 had a really good mix of decent indoor and outdoor zones and the story, although far fetched, was the easiest to get into

[Kane Knight]

I've got to admit: MGS was the only one I played all the way through. I loved it. Got the different endings and still kept going back and playing.

MGS 2 was something my brother bought and I played a bit of it, but mostly, I got bored with it. When we were home on vacation (Spring break, I think), I watched him beat it, and aside from laughing at some of the plot "twists," I was nonplussed.

Haven't played MGS 3. Not so much that I'm against it, but I had other things to play when it came out, so I figured I'd snag it when it was cheap. I just haven't yet.

So needless to say, the first was my favorite so far. Wonder how much I can get MGS 3 for.

[Y2Ant]

I have only played the Twin Snakes version of MGS1, not sure how much similar it is to the original, but it was pretty badass. I should play that on the Wii with my cheap wavebird I got off ebay :cool:

[Lara Emily]

6 monthes after it's release it'll be on the 360 just like MSG3 was on the X-Box

it was 2 not 3.

He also cited "too much jungle." Come on now.

You just gotta know when to let it sliiiide

KK, I must now implore you to do whatever you can to get MLB08: The Show.

That way, I can show to you how "retarded" I am when my Indians kick your ass. :lol:

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, I'm not sure how that would make you any less retarded. In fact, that one-liner made you sound even more retarded.
